“Stylish, high energy, smart and eye wateringly violent…Monkey Man goes bananas in the best possible way” 
★★★★ Nick De Semlyen, Empire

“Dev Patels directorial debut is a savage triumph” 
★★★★ Jamie Graham, Total Film

“Patel turns it into a very exciting and stylish movie. His previous acting work didn’t obviously point to a kickass action career, although his performance in The Green Knight might have given us a hint. He’s evolved.” 
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian 

“The climax, with heavy dollops of Only God Forgives, is ecstatically violent, and in many places a difficult watch. The film, nonetheless, remains exceptional, and vastly superior to the John Wick franchise because it is “about” something.” 
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times (UK)
